The Refinery

We came in for breakfast at this historic location. We greeted by a professional, friendly staff. The Chef, Rian McLaughlin and his team were wonderful and the breakfast was incredible. His team was able to adjust the menu to our dietary restrictions. They have wonderful custom coffee selections.

This was the best breakfast I have ever had. The omelet was fantastic, the fruit was so fresh and the salad was everything I didn't know I needed. Wasn't expecting such a great breakfast in a hotel but this was it!

Went here for breakfast after night shift! Loved that it was open at 7am! The service was amazing and the food was great! Loved the mini waffles and the eggs benedict! The ambience was so nice too!

Awesome brunch spot! I had the omelette with pulled pork, pimento cheese topped with a jalapeño aioli. Our server Tara was great and a real sweetheart. We will be back!

My husband and I went for Sunday brunch and everything was fantastic. This was formerly Benne on Eagle and attached to the Foundry hotel. The space and decor is gorgeous. Service was fantastic. We tried a couple of their coffee features; the iced "pina colada" was amazing – house pineapple syrup, coconut cream, espresso, and toasted coconut shavings. Very unique! They have a build-your-own bloody Mary bar and other creative brunch cocktails. The food was so delicious. There brunch menu includes starters and mains. I love that you can do a half order of mini waffles for $6, because sometimes you just want a little bite of sweet. But instead, we tried the Blueberry Ricotta Fritters with a lemon cardamom curd and toasted poppy seeds. The Omelet du Jour was salmon and dill; it was creamy and perfectly cooked. I think the Strada du Jour stole the show. It was a pastrami Reuben-inspired egg bake that was so savory and delish. The sides were on point as well; we tried the cheesy grits and rosemary potatoes. Only downside is how few people were dining. This place is newish, a tad off the beaten path on Eagle Street, and still an undiscovered gem. I will definitely be back and bring friends. I hope Asheville comes around, because this place is worthy of being a brunch favorite.
